I have about 8000 files in a group collection, and each file points to a pdf by link. I find that when I add a pdf link directly, it become visible to full text search, but existing files do not get indexed. I have tried using the rebuild index features in the prefs, but I get strange numbers:

Specifically, when I Clear Index, it says
"indexed 0
unindexed 257" -- actually there are over 8000 docs pointing to pdfs

when I re-index, it comes up with:

"indexed 27
partial 1
unindexed 229"

Just to make sure this is not a pdf issue, I have tried the following test with regular txt files as child links: So, indexing works fine when I add the txt child docs manually as links to existing items. However, when I export that manually-created collection (as Zotero RDF), and re-import it, the new collection is no longer indexed (of course), but I cannot get Zotero to re-index the new collection-- neither all at once, nor one page at a time. If I open one of the linked txt files, and "re-add" it as a link, then that re-added file gets indexed fine. But the txt file links that were imported remain un-indexed.

How can I re-index an existing collection?

Thanks
